Stanford AI API Gateway

Direct API access to the large language models hosted in Stanford's own cloud infrastructure behind the AI Playground, for faculty, staff and students building their own AI applications. Keyed per API key and billed to a Stanford PTA, with usage queryable by key, and approved for High Risk data and PHI. Institution-operated at the gateway layer even though the models behind it are commercial third parties' — the metering, the key issuance, the data-classification approval and the rate card are all Stanford's.
